UBC Library supports Covenant House

At its seasonal luncheon leading up to the holidays, UBC Library announced that its charity raffle had raised more than $1,000 for Covenant House, which provides food, shelter, clothing and counselling for street youth in Vancouver.

The raffle prize winner was Lucia Balabuk, who works in UBC’s Science One program, which is based in the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre. Lucia won an amazing technicolour quilt that was made by the talented UBC Library Knitwits team.

Thank you to the Knitwits for their effort, and to everyone who bought raffle tickets to support a very worthy cause.
